Activity Level

Brussels Griffons are a very high-energy breed. Because of their small size, they can be tired out with a daily romp in the yard or moderately long walk. They like to play indoor games as well.

Brussels Griffons may have one of two coats. The rough coat is dense and wiry; the smooth coat is short and straight. They are a high-maintenance grooming breed, requiring weekly brushing and stripping four times per year. They have arched necks and expressions that are often called “human-like.”
